Police look for man who robbed Mt. Juliet bank

Police are looking for the man who they say passed a note to a bank employee, claimed he had a gun, and then demanded cash.

Once he received an undisclosed amount of money, he fled the area on foot. After a comprehensive search, police could not locate him, believing he had a getaway vehicle nearby. No one was injured during the incident.

Detectives with Mt. Juliet’s Criminal Investigative Division and Federal Bureau of Investigation responded to the scene to conduct a thorough investigation.

The suspect is described as a white male with a medium build in his 40s or 50s. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a ball cap, black jacket, white shirt and blue jeans.

Police said the suspect also matches the description of a man who robbed banks in Johnson City, Tennessee, and Asheville, North Carolina, and that he is likely targeting banks along interstate corridors.

According to police, the last bank robbery in Mt. Juliet was in November 2015.
